Learning to Drive

With the risk of being pelted to death with rocks, I think I missed the boat with this book. As a 22 yr old college grad, I’m not one to be pretentious about writing in YA books, but this one I couldn’t get over. I thought that the writing was very cliche and predictable and although the intent seemed valiant, I found myself rolling my eyes at some point. Although some things that happened to Melinda were very realistic, others I felt were caricatures of real human beings.

Maybe if I read it in high school I would have liked it more.
